While you surely enjoy the comfortable, upright position on that mountain bike or hybrid, the odds are it came outfitted with tires more inclined to be ridden off-road. If your primary domain is on asphalt then the smart move is to outfit your bike with the Nashbar Streetwise city tire. Guaranteed to add speed, the smooth-rolling Streetwise is a perfect choice for ripping through town on your daily commute or cruising for miles on the weekends.

Recumbent, ("stick bike") 26" X 1.50" sizeI've had three different tire sets on this bike so far, all except these tires were 26" x 1.25". In order of least to best liked: Kenda Kwest, (felt dead and slow) Panasonic Pasela, (light and easy rolling but somewhat fragile) Primo Racer (hard to find or expensive) and these. I've only taken one ride after mounting them but noticed immediately that the ride was smoother. On my usual route I achieved the same average speed as my fastest ride this year using the Paselas.- Almost didn't buy these because the listed maximum pressure is only 40 psi. I called to verify this and was told it was correct. Still skeptical, I ordered anyway. Tire sidewall says 45-60 psi.- Actual weight according to my digital kitchen scale was as listed. (376 gm)

I commute to work on a mountain bike converted for street use. I am on my third set of Streetwise tires, and they are great. They have less rolling resistance and great longevity. And the price point is excellent.

I've bought this tire in both26 x 1.5, and 700c x 35.If you ride a mountain bikeor hybrid on paved road, rail trails, or multiple use paths, you will be much happier with Streetwise thanknobby tires. So much morecomfortable, quieter, faster,and better-looking, too.At this price, its a great deal. Highly recommended.
